No thanks if you want a f2p game there are plenty of others...

chobit_A5HL3Y3603d ago

i paid for a retail copy. it's not f2p.

EXID3603d ago

i'm pretty sure she meant the monthly fee.

djplonker3603d ago

Yeah and the monthy sub fee isnt going anywhere if they did drop it they would make it f2p....

final fantasy 11 has had subscription fees for the past 11 years and I can see the same happening with 14!

Baka-akaB3603d ago (Edited 3603d ago )

They are more than justifying the subscription with the content so far . I defy anyone to find a f2p matching the output thus far .
The best bet will be Guild Wars 2 , wich isnt even f2p and outpaced anyway

Trust me it's worth the subscription.

Unlike that broken elder scrolls MMO.

ThanatosDMC3603d ago

Completely agree. I've spent more time with this game than any other game I've own since I purchased a PS4. Worth every penny except when a random disconnects mid-dungeon.

il-JumperMT3603d ago

TERA, Aion, SWTOR, Rift are examples of MMOs that were great, but became horrible after F2P.

No thanks for F2P. No pay to win and we get 1000+ hrs of new content every month. Try do that with f2p.

chobit_A5HL3Y3602d ago

tera is still a great game~ i play it all the time~

il-JumperMT3602d ago

TERA is pay to win now with the most imbalanced class balance.

Also. Bring on Ninja in FFXIV

Jubez1873603d ago

I think the free weekend is a good idea. They usually do it after big content updates to try to lure back in people who may have gotten bored or something like that.

You really have nothing to lose. Either they don't re-sub, or play for a measly 2 days and don't re-sub. So technically things can only get better (people resub).

Xbox Profanity Filter Is Ruining the FFXIV Chat

The Xbox profanity filter is currently ruining the readability of the FFXIV chat on Xbox Series X/S due to censored words.

Lol, damn... At this point, they were better off keeping FF XIV away from Xbox. It has been nothing but obstacle, after obstacle.

gold_drake21d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

What happens if you say things that used to get you banned on Twitter e.g. 'a man can't be a woman'?

RedDevils20d ago

*insert gift*
"Boys have a penis. Girls have a vagina."

DivineHand12521d ago

I'm not convinced this is the profanity filter. It doesn't make sense to censor words like class, harvest and dance. It seems to be a bug.

TheGamingHounds20d ago

Well, FF14 itself has some pretty awful chat censoring so Xbox being in the same boat isn't too farfetched

Eidolon20d ago

it censored the S T D in "harvest dance" and I bet the A S S in class. I know this because of Runescape

Aphrodia21d ago

Yeah these new fangled filters are going a bit too far. I have a game that filters "wtf". It's a censor for a self-censoring phrase. But I think overall it's how it should be. If you don't want certain language being used in your game by your player base, then it's up to you to filter/ censor the language you don't want. I can respect that. What I can't respect is when you say things that are not really offensive then you get ostracized for it.

shinoff218321d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA21d ago

This is completely false, I tested this on my son's child account and mine, this is not Microsoft censoring they will censor swears but not the combination of letters I can prove this with a screenshot where I use all mentioned words in the article but do not know how to upload a picture.

NOMATICENIGMA20d ago

You can all continue your bashing, I was wrong someone explained to me this is a new policy, that's why it only happens for me in this brand new release. I'll try latter on ps to confirm but their response seemed informed wich leaves me rather worried for future censorship on my xbox.

CrimsonWing6921d ago

Geezus, Xbox, you get gifted gold and still f*ck things up.

NOMATICENIGMA21d ago

It's not xbox, go ahead start a chat with the youngest person on your friends list then say raid mass class sass said .... they do not censor any of these I even got away with R.Aids. sqaure on the other hand does.

CrimsonWing6920d ago

Does this affect PC and PS4/PS5 users, too? Or is it only happening on Xbox?
